EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the Chicago World's Fair of 1893, a momentous event that celebrated the anniversary of Christopher Columbus' arrival in the New World in 1492. The image showcases Santa Maria, the flagship vessel that carried Columbus on his historic voyage. With great attention to detail, this photograph captures the grandeur and significance of this iconic ship. Its towering masts and intricate rigging are beautifully displayed against a backdrop of other exhibition pavilions at the fairgrounds. This snapshot offers a glimpse into an era when world exhibitions were highly anticipated events, attracting exhibitors from all corners of the globe. The Chicago World's Fair was truly a spectacle to behold, with its stunning architecture, technological marvels, and cultural displays from around the world. It served as a platform for showcasing progress and innovation while commemorating historical milestones like Columbus' journey. This particular image comes from "The Magic City" an extensive portfolio edited by J. W. Buel that documented various aspects of this extraordinary fair. As we admire this photograph today, we can't help but be transported back in time to witness firsthand one of history's most significant exhibitions—the Chicago World's Fair of 1893—where Santa Maria proudly stood as a symbol of exploration and discovery.
